Rika made her call to Emily as short as possible.
There was too much noise on the other side, meaning Emily was out working with Damian. Rika did not want to distract her from any possible dealing.
She did feel bad about sending the alpha such a distracting message, but Rika needed to ensure that she would live as well.
With their resourcefulness, Rika was certain that Emily and Damian would find a way to keep an eye on her, even in the enemy's lair.
That was how much confidence Rika had in her partners. They had more than enough spies to know what Rika was doing and how she was at any given time.
"Hey, before we go in this time, I need to tell you that there is no need to worry about anything this time. Our uncle does not want to keep you captive (hopefully). He said that he had something he needed your help with."
Zhu Li assured, but Rika did not know if he was trying to assure Rika or himself.
